Légende

The China Cruising Squadron in Pallada Roads, Pasiette [ie Posyet] Bay, Russian Tartary, 1881. 'The British naval squadron on the China station...consisted of the ships Iron Duke, Comus, Encounter, Curaçoa, Albatross, Pegasus, with the Zephyr and Vigilant, gun-boats. One of the officers has favoured us with a Sketch of the roadstead and adjacent fine harbours, Expedition Bay and Novgorod, which are completely sheltered. But, we learn from a Shanghai letter in the Times this week, "a hundred miles south of the Tumen River, which is the existing Russo-Corean boundary, is the Yung-Hing, or Broughton Bay, the northern end of which forms one of the most magnificent harbours in the world. This harbour has been named by the Russians Port Lazareff. There the Russian fleet - indeed any number of fleets - may find a safe anchorage and easy access in the severest winters, for it is just south of the latitude of frozen coast...The Russians were the only people, until recently, who possessed accurate information regarding this wonderful harbour and coast'. From "Illustrated London News", 1881.
